GHANA REGION |
|
For political and administrative purposes, Ghana is divided
into 10 regions: Western, Central, Greater Accra, Easter, Volta,
Ashanti, Brong-Ahafo, Northern, Upper West and Upper East. Each
region is headed by a Regional Minister who is the direct representative
of the government.
He is assisted by a regional co-ordinating council, which, among
other things, co-ordinates and formulates integrated district
plans and programmes within the framework of approved national
development policies and priorities.
Under the regional administrations are 110 district administrations,
each headed by a District Chief Executive. The District Chief
Executive is also the Chairman of the Executive Committee of
the District Assembly, which is the highest political and administrative
authority in the district.
